I am scared but I am sulking. My distress remains even though I marvel at how bold I am. He shouldn’t have said things like that if he planned all of it for the pack’s safety in the first place no?
“One thing led to another but I truly wanted to ma
u feel a little better after that ceremony”
And then it’s back again.
My heart somersaults when I feel the concern radiati
off his words.
“Thank you. I loved this place when I stumbled upon it last time. It feels like a beautiful cosy secret spot with those vines hanging over and trees huddled together”
“Then we should come here often”
I could only nod, feeling overwhelmed with the pitter–patter of my heart.
“How is your body? Did you get enough rest?” I jolt and remember the back from this morning.
My eyes narrow and I feel all the embarrassing mornings I had to go through because of him creeping up my spine.
“My back ached and I couldn’t get up from the bed without Anna’s support.” I deadpan and his smile deepends which leaves me taken aback.
“Are you enjoying my predicament right now?” I accuse, my voice full of surprise.
“I don’t see that as a predicament. There’s a difference, dear wife”
Ugh! I can’t even say something to his gorgeous face.
“Also, the one who is in a predicament is me. While you get what you want, satisfied to the brim, I am left in the middle. You always end up fainting when it’s my turn”
1 gasp, “What do you mean by when it’s your turn? You still call it ‘in the middle‘ after we” I lower my voice even though there is no one around us or no one I can see and whisper the rest of the embarrassing content. “Had it done four times?”
“Of course. Did you think it’s enough to satisfy me, Liliana? You really need to know me well, don’t you? We also lost that game, date for a mate because of you” He tuts and goes on shaking his dismissively.
Oh my god, he just didn’t say that now!
“Because of me? As I said before, we wouldn’t even have gotten to that point if it weren’t for me saving us in the first round!” “But it’s embarrassing that my wife doesn’t know my needs, isn’t it? You think four rounds are enough for me?” He asks as if he is really disappointed but if they aren’t enough then how much more does he want to do it?
It’s so embarrassing that I can’t even bring myself to ask that question.
“I am always only halfway fucking you when you end up fainting on me. I wonder whether I will ever be able to satisfy myself to the end”
My cheeks explode with heat when his gaze lingers on my body in a long sexy drag. His voice is low and husky and his

words are inviting.
I curl my toes and avert my gaze, unable to stand his grey eyes clouding with desire but he doesn’t let me go.
“We should visit Richard again for this matter, shouldn’t we? He will be happy to hear about his Alpha’s healthy sex life, right? Also, we can get you some supplements for energy and–
“You don’t talk about such things on a picnic!” I immediately cut him off, unable to endure his dirty talk anymore.

Why does he sound like he wants to show off to Doctor Greens rather than ask him for the…for the supplements? Gosh, it’s not me who needs supplements, it’s him. He needs supplements to sleep!
“Then what sort of conversation is held over a picnic mat?” He asks, staring at me with that amused sparkle in his eyes.
“At the party yesterday, I made two friends. Scarlett and Skylar. Scarlett is Alpha Logan’s sister and Skylar is Alpha Carter’s betrothed. They were fun and great to be around” I tell him about the girls and he looks invested.
“Logan of Greenwich and Carter of Icehowl. I also established trade with them yesterday.”
Seeing him talk favourably about someone else is funny and cute considering how he is always arrogant about things all the
time.
“Letty even invited me to her monthly rendezvous. It’s a fun day out. I am thinking of going to one. She said she sent me the invitation” I obviously keep the fact about admiring warriors‘ train a secret.
“Hmm, I can’t guarantee whether you will be to go or not”
My mouth falls open and my eyebrows rise to my forehead, “Why?”
“I hope you didn’t forget that you were ambushed, Liliana. You need to be more careful”
“If that’s the reason then you just send two more warriors with me…but please allow me to go” I pleaded and he sighed.
“Fine”
Oh my god! I rejoiced, itching to hug him when he agreed!
“Thank you so much, Damian!” I squeal and gives me a crooked smile.
“Sandwiches?” He asks, pulling the basket and taking out delicious sandwiches from inside.
I quickly nod and he sets the plates. Like I will ever disagree with food!
I help him set up the napkins, cutlery and cups. He takes out sandwiches, fruits, crackers and chips!
Holy, it’s a whole picnic package!
For drinks, we have got juice, water and of course, a bottle of wine. I shake my head when he even takes out two wine glasses from the basket. I highly doubt Damian even drinks water to survive. For him, wine seems to be the only liquid he
consumes.
There were several condiments as well. I quickly picked up a sandwich and goodness, it tastes divine!
“This is delicious!” I moan and he shoots me a look.
“I won’t mind if you are offering what isn’t in the basket. I will gladly have it”

I nearly choked on my sandwich when he casually slips those words out of his mouth and now he has guts to grin like an innocent boy after making me drink a cup of water to calm myself down.
“How can all your thoughts point to that, Damian? It’s concerning”
“There’s nothing to be concerned about when you are honest about what you want, Liliana. I feel I am better than someone who denies everything they love while doing that”
I hate how he quotes the word, that‘ as if mocking me! He is having too much fun, isn’t he?
“I don’t know what you are talking about” I ‘hmph‘ and ignore him as I spread cheese on the top of my cracker.
He continues to steal the cracker from me as he makes his smartass comeback, which no one asked him for, “I am talking about how you cry no and stuff my mouth deeper into your hole. Isn’t that dishonesty?”
Oh my god, is he trying to kill me?
Now he is crushing a berry with his teeth before popping the cracker I prepared altogether into his mouth.
“I will say this again but will you stop Damian? Both this topic and stealing my food?”
“I can’t say for both Look at that cheeky grin!
I wordlessly start to prepare another cracker, fully aware of his gaze alternating between me and the cracker but this time he is in tough luck because there is no way I am going to let him come near my food!
“Is that your final decision then? I can easily wipe off the Crystal Moon and return your pack to yours. Killing two measly people and taking a few people as slaves won’t do much work to my reputation if that’s what you are concerned about
“No, I don’t want you to kill them.” I simply say and pop the cracker into my mouth.
Divine!
“What are you so worried about?”
“Damian. You asked me and I said no” I sigh and he goes quiet which is surprising but he does.
I wonder why killing is so easy for him? I would never want him to dye his hands red because of him and I can’t tell him that because if I did, he would end up bringing the ‘truth‘ about himself, ruining my mood even more.
I thrust a cracker I made for myself into his direction when he went awfully quiet and he takes it obediently. I even watch his reaction when he chews on it.
He is chewing but something about his face says that he is still dissatisfied and not done with this topic.
“Who did you meet yesterday? A lot of people were crowding around you” Including Hazel…gosh, her name is enough to make me angry.
“I met a few important people and the rest were a useless bunch. As I said meeting Logan and Carter was worthwhile. I also met the mountain pack with Logan’s help and ah, Alpha Santiago was also there. That old bastard is still as sharp as ever.
He has arranged a contest to choose the next alpha for his pack and you know what, his sons have to participate in that contest only if they want the throne”
“Oh my, doesn’t the Alpha’s seat hereditary? Why is he arranging a competition if he already has sons?”

Among werewolves, an alpha’s son is to become the next alpha because they have what is required to run a pack and no one else.
“That’s what everyone else is wondering as well. Alpha Santiago works with the principle which says, the strongest shall have the throne and that’s why he is not passing it to his sons” He mutters something else under his breath but I am not able to hear it.
“That’s the first I have heard of,” I say, sipping on some juice while Damian sloshes his red wine in the glass.
“It’s not something new, BloodClaw also follow the same principle” He sounds bitter for some reason I am unable to comprehend and before I get to ask whether he is all right, he drops another question which leaves me wondering for a while.
“Liliana, were you feeling okay to come here? Hudson said it wouldn’t be a nice idea to arrange the picnic in the same spot you were ambushed. He said it would be insensitive.
I wish to know whether that’s true. Were you feeling forced or are you….genuinely happy?”
I blink in surprise because although I was surprised when I heard that Damian had asked me to come to the Pine forest which well in a way became a restricted place since I was attacked there, I didn’t feel anything else other than an initial burst of surprise.
I was honestly upset when that incident happened because this is my favourite place and didn’t want it to become some sort of ominous taboo because of what happened.
I was even willing to endure a bunch of bodyguards and warriors if it meant I could visit Pine Forest again. So, Damian taking the initiative and setting up everything by himself just made me twice as happy.
“I was surprised first when I heard your message through Paul. I wondered why you are calling me to the controversial place but you know I love it here.
I love Pine Forest and was upset when it suddenly became a restricted place but you held a picnic here and dispelled everything that would have tainted this beauty so I am in no way ‘forced‘ to come here, Damian.
In fact, I love it. I love this beautiful picnic and your motive behind it. Both the motives, by the way,” I tease and he smiles.
My heart soars when he smiles. A handsome man with a beautiful smile in this beautiful natural scenery is just topping on a pie!
“I am glad you like it.”
“I know. I love it” I reply cheerfully only to get flipped so quickly that if I hadn’t experienced it before many times, I would have had trouble accepting it.
“So, how was that wizard planning to teach you magic anyway?”
